Descrição
Hi! We are Thom and Iki, outdoor enthousiasts who are travelling for one year. We are looking for learning experiences, interesting connections and new memories. We try to devide our traveling time with 50% travelling, 50% volunteering. Iki just finished her bachelor in landscape design, Thom studied nature management and worked in technical field. We enjoy nature, long distance hiking, camping, rockclimbing and socializing.

Our year of travelling started in august 2024. We've spend 4 months in the European Alps, doing 2 workaways. After this we continued our adventure to the southern hemisphere. We traveled north from Ushuaia and have joined 2 workaways. Our next destinations will be the north of Argentina and Chile and after that Bolivia and Peru.

Iki had a previous gap year in which she had 4 workaway experiences in Wales, Portugal, Germany and Slovakia. Thom has experience volunteering at an amazing nature conservation project in Italy and an Eco village building project in the Netherlands.

We're both Fluent in English and Thom speaks a bit of German (fluent if talking with a 7 year old)
Iki knows about animal care, cooking and landscaping. The last is mostly theory, but she want to practice her green thumb.
Thom knows how to work with his hands, knows a bit about electronics and knows about nature management.

We had a fantastic time working and sharing time with Iki and Thom! They are both super enthusiastic, hard working, creative and fun people. They helped us on a range of jobs (some not as fun as others) as well as general tasks around the house and we shared fantastic food together. They help us out with cooking even after working their hours. We… read more

We had a great time in the forest with Pablo and Migle! They are very kind, welcoming and have been great teachers and amigos.
Most of the work we did together with Pablo who was very patient and good in explaining in what needs to be done. We helped with finishing the inside of the house (isolating, wooden panels and plaster) and preparing and… read more

The two months we spend at this lovely community flies by but it was also increadible to see how connected one can get to the people, animals and landscape in such a short time. We didn't come here with any set intentions or expectations but we got so much out of our time here. There was time to reflect and have interesting conversations, time to… read more

We had lovely time working in Danielas garden for 3 weeks. Daniela is a friendly lady who welcomed us with open arms. She has a lot of knowledge about the plants in her garden which she was happy to talk about and we were treated to some nice dinners with local dishes and many vegetables and eggs from the garden.

The apartment we stayed in was… read more

It was a delight to meet Iki and to get to know her. She was great fun, interested in helping with and trying out lots of things that we did as a family, and her and my 18 your old daughter really bonded and spent a lot of time talking about art, which my daughter, who is studying Art and working hard, was delighted about. Iki was very kind and… read more

I had such a lovely time with Helen, Mark and their family. From the moment I arrived they were so kind and loving to me that I felt at home very soon. We had a lot of nice conversations and great dinners (Helen is a great cook!!!!!!!!!). They really tried to include me into their family life, especially the weekend were full of fun activities, we… read more went to the beach, I went with their daughter Maeve into town, and we went scenery painting for the local play. The work itself was very varied, we did something different every day, like weeding veg and flower beds, planting flowers and plants, building a new pighouse, taking a fence down. I would recommend the next volunteers to have a 'kind of okay' knowledge about plants because sometimes it was very hard for me to tell the weeds apart from the flowers at this time of the year. I was very lucky to work with an other volunteer who had way more experience than me, so she could help me a lot with this, but on my own I probably wouldn't be able to start the weeding (which was one of the biggest tasks, at least at this time of the year). But while working with the other volunteer I learned so much that I became pretty independent and confident about the 'telling weed apart from flower knowledge'. Helen will tell you clearly what the tasks are at the beginning of the day, and we could always ask questions during this conversation. She was very patient while explaining things when they weren't clear enough for us, but she won't be always around while we were working, so that's why the basic knowledge of plants is very recommended if you are working on your own. The profile said that they were searching for young and fit people, I think this is very true. The work was almost always physical but very doable for me and I wouldn't consider myself super strong. In the hours after work there was enough time and space in the house to do something on your own like drawing, reading, making music, taking the dogs for a walk into the beautiful forrest but we also had a lot of social evenings. I had a lot of nice conversations with Maeve, Helen tried to teach us crochet (we tried to start the workaway crochet blanket but sadly I didn't manage to make a proper piece before I left), we watched the rugby and we had some pancake baking nights. I would really love to come back one day, probably for a longer time than 2,5 weeks! I do think that I would love to come with my own car the next time, because I am really used to independence, being able to get away from the house on my own and spending time in cities with a lot of people around me. But for those 2,5 weeks I really enjoyed the peace, quiet, nature and spending time with this lovely family, the other volunteers and all the great animals!!!
